ICT Block - LumiTraders Course-1

1. The document discusses various types of candlestick patterns that indicate changes in market direction, including bearish and bullish breakers, order blocks, and mitigation blocks. 2. An order block is a candlestick that initiated a price move due to market maker manipulation, and future price action may be influenced by support or resistance at the highs and lows of the order block candle. 3. A reclaimed order block occurs when a previously established order block is revisited and confirms a short-term reversal, while a mitigation block forms due to a failure to establish support or resistance at previous highs or lows.

Bullish Mitigation Block

A bullish mitigation block occurs when there is


a failed collection of SSL at previous market
lows.

This failure leads to the formation of a higher


low after the price fails to collect sell-side
liquidity at previous highs due to an order
block or rejection block.

This pushes the price up to collect BSL liquidity


High at the nearest previous high, resulting in the
formation of a higher high.

Once the price has formed a higher high, it will


pull back down to fill the liquidity void that was
created when the price was pushed up by the
order block or rejection block. As the price
High Low pulls back to fill in the liquidity void, it will use

Propulsion Block

Propulsion Block is a candle or bar that has


previously traded down (up) into a down (up)
candle or bullish (bearish) OB and is taking on the
role of price support for higher (lower) price
movement.

We have a descending candle, which shows the


willingness of the price to move higher, and there is
a candle that is trading directly in the OB

This candle becomes a propulsion block.

This new so-called OB will be very sensitive, it should


never see the mean threshold exceeded, 50% of the
body. Most of the time it will trade back to the high of the
candle and then immediately we will see a reaction.
